1. API Keys
Initialize the toolkit with a Google Gemini API key. You can get one at no
charge from Google AI Studio.
You will also need a Google Maps Platform API key to allow the toolkit to render
maps and call other Geo tools. You can create a key and enable the necessary
APIs in the Google Cloud Console.
Your Google Maps Platform API Key must have the following APIs enabled:
Geocoding API
Maps JavaScript API
Places UI Kit
Routes API
To use Grounding Lite MCP, you must also enable Maps Grounding Lite API.
